Hitman Update Fixes Performance, Adds Vampire Magician Challenge Pack

A vampire magician outfit would seem to really stretch the definition of 'disguise', but that's exactly the sort of thing HITMAN has gone and done. A new patch for the hiding-in-plain-sight title addresses load times, incorrect leaderboard information, and several other areas. Check out the full patch notes below.

The Vampire Magician Challenge Pack includes 10 new challenges that were inspired by how our community have been playing the game. Each challenge requires you to wear the Vampire Magician disguise while taking down targets using a range of different methods.

Continued improvements to load timesThe improvements will be most notable when loading The Showstopper mission in Paris and we're already working on improving all loading times even more.

Improved responsiveness for in-game menus and image loadingWe've implemented an image caching system that will improve responsiveness and loading times for all images in the game menu.

Fixed issues with scoringPrimarily, this fixes an issue that resulted in many players earning a “0 second” time bonus and an incorrect score of 210,000. A leaderboard reset will be implemented at a later date.

Continued improvements to connectivityServer stability improvements.

Missing 'Requiem Pack' items have been restoredFor those affected, these items will now be available to choose from the planning screen again.
